1. Start with the geographic question your firm actually needs answered
A Fort Atkinson firm may want to distinguish activity associated with Fort Atkinson from activity elsewhere in Jefferson County or across Wisconsin. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page says the dashboard can show city data, case-type data and source attribution. Those descriptions make geographic definitions an important consultation topic. Ask how a location is recorded, what geographic field is used, and whether a report separates Fort Atkinson from Jefferson County rather than combining them. The Census identifies Fort Atkinson city as a municipality and records its county relationship as Jefferson County. The population estimate does not establish that any particular practice area has local demand.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic scope to the review: Fort Atkinson city, Jefferson County, and any wider Wisconsin area your firm serves. Decide which of those should be measured separately. Do not use the population figure as a forecast or target.
